Nice course

Had just been a monsoon night before so course was very wet. They had put down some pebbles in areas so if you were unfortunate enough to land there your clubs would take a battering. That being said some lovely holes. Lots.of variety which I loved. Little nuggets of history a nice touch. Another downside. Course obviously bought out by some up and coming entrepreneur who has turned the main clubhouse into offices. Sad. As I read there was 2 million invested in it with a restaurant with a roof top view.

Most challenging course in Westmeath

Absolutely love this course. If it were closer to my home, I would join as a member.
Conditions of the greens can be hit or miss if you play in the evening, but that’s about all I can fault.
So much variety on the holes. Brilliant par 3s and challenging drives to get into position.
Best course in Westmeath for me.

Nice course

This course is nice, some of the views are very nice. There are some great holes but there are a handful of pokey holes, ie 7 iron layup to the corner followed by a wedge to the green. The quality of greens were good but some were maybe too undulated, no flat putts at all. The biggest criticism though would be the tee boxes, they were badly dug up in places and the grass was long, they need to be sectioned off and repaired. It must have been a difficult summer re.maintenance but the tees need looking at. Staff were very nice. Overall nice round and at 20euro worth it.

Fabulous course, no bland holes. Highly recommend. It was a 1 hour spin for us to get to it but it was certainly worth it. Not your typical up and down parkland. Without doubt the best value about

Gem

Picked the course solely for location. Never heard of it before. We were pleasantly surprised. Firstly, it's quite a long course. It's quite challenging, well layed out and maintenance is adequate. Be aware there currently is no off course facilities.

The. Club has just come through receivership and under new management.

I would highly recommend it.

No issues with ethier the course or the staff. Infact the staff are really nice and very friendly. The changing facilties are very poor and dirty. Once finish a round I like to shower and eat at the course if possible. Due to the uncleaness of the changing rooms this was not possible.

Very good course

This is a very well kept, challenging course. Greens are very well protected by water and bunkers. Par 3s are all tricky. Greens are in perfect condition. Course is never overly busy midweek.

I would not go out of my way to play this course.

I would not play this course ever again if I had my way. It had holes squeezed in where they simply should have one.
